Cathy Doll AC Pad BHA 40 Pads

Cleansers miss things. A little sunscreen along the hairline, the oil that settled back around the nose while you were rinsing. Most people fix this by washing twice or scrubbing harder. This pad is the gentler answer: one swipe over freshly washed skin, and it is done.

THE SWIPE
Each pad is a textured sheet soaked in a light, watery toner with a mild surfactant. Drag it across the skin and the texture lifts loose surface cells while the liquid picks up what the cleanser left: leftover oil, sunscreen residue, the film from a day in air conditioning. Look at the pad afterwards. It will tell you whether your wash was as thorough as you thought.

THE WATER
Over 16% of the liquid is humectants: butylene glycol, propanediol and glycerin. They pull water into the top layer of skin and hold it there, which is why your face feels cool and damp after the swipe rather than tight. There is no alcohol in the formula, so nothing evaporates off and takes moisture with it. You do not rinse; the humectants stay on and keep working under whatever you apply next.

THE CALM
Allantoin at 0.3%, a proper working level. It is one of the oldest skin-conditioning ingredients in cosmetics and it does one thing well: it helps freshly washed skin feel settled and comfortable. Useful for anyone whose face runs warm and pink after a cleanse.

THE SIGNATURE BLEND
Salicylic acid, cica, witch hazel, tea tree and chamomile, each at accent levels. Honest framing: they are the AC Series signature, not the reason the pad works. The BHA in the name is a trace, not an exfoliating dose, so this is not the pad that peels. If you use a stronger exfoliant, this one sits on the days in between.

✓ Allantoin at 0.3% helps freshly washed skin feel calm and comfortable
✓ Skin feels smoother and pores look clearer once the residue is off
✓ Tested non-irritating: 24-hour patch test on 22 adults under a dermatologist
✓ No alcohol, added fragrance, parabens, sulfates, colorants or mineral oil
✓ 40 pre-soaked pads with a tong, no rinsing, about six weeks of daily use

1. Cleanse and pat dry. Slightly damp skin is fine too.
2. Open the jar and lift one pad with the tong. Close the lid straight away: the pads dry out in an open jar, and a dry pad is a wasted pad.
3. Swipe from the centre of the face outwards: forehead, nose, chin, then cheeks. Give the nose and hairline a second pass; that is where sunscreen hides. Avoid the eye area.
4. Do not rinse. Give it 30 seconds to settle.
5. Continue with serum, moisturizer and, in the morning, sunscreen.
6. Once a day is the default, and evening is the better slot. Oily skin can go twice.

Caution: for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Stop use and seek medical advice if irritation or any abnormality appears. Not for children under 3 years.
